Democratic Congressman Suggests Jared Kushner May Have Ordered Assassination Of Khashoggi
[DAILYCALLER] Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro, a potential 2020 presidential candidate, suggested to CNN Friday morning that Jared Kushner potentially told the Saudi government to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The remarks came during a discussion about President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s reaction to the disappearance of The Washington Post contributor and political activist.

"Let me get to the point that I think is most disturbing right now. The reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, to MBS, in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, and that the prince then may have acted on that, and one of the people that he took action against was Mr. Khashoggi," Castro said to CNN’s Poppy Harlow.

Harlow proceeded to interrupt Castro to inform viewers that she had not seen any reporting to that effect and asked Castro where he had heard such information.

Castro insisted he had seen reporting suggesting an liquidation plot by Kushner.

"I’ve seen reporting to that effect ... that needs to be investigated."

The Daily Caller News Foundation has seen no reports suggesting the disappearance of Khashoggi has anything to do with Kushner.

#2 The reporting that Jared Kushner may have, with U.S. intelligence, delivered a hit list, an enemies list, to the crown prince, to MBS

With Jamal Khashoggi's name highlighted? Think about that for a moment. How necessary would that have actually been ?

#4 Notice how every Dem pol is touted as a "potential 2020 presidential candidate"?

I don't know if this is Left Wing trial ballooning or Right Wing pond muddying but it is humorous in an annoying sort of way.

I do grasp the power of "and" in this case.

#7 The probability is awfully close to zero, but technically speaking that is not the same as absolutely impossible. I imagine the honourable Congressman from Texas saw the “reporting” in the far left, Daily Kos corner of the internet.
